AirAsia to Buy Control of Batavia Air

[AirAsia to Buy Control of Batavia Air]

Ah...such good memories of Batavia in Jogja.

 

[RMAF]

BC, the TUDM Caribous were used from 1969 to 1998 (29 years!) and replaced by the CN235 subsequently.

 

Hey, no problem - but they still have Caribou's flying ?!

Surely not the RMAF birds

[RMAF]

Sorry, BC...I meant the Caribou.

[RMAF]

Well...at the time TUDM received them they were the most advanced aircraft in the fleet....got weather radar I think. Maybe one or two of them are still flying today. When they started the engines the whole ground shook and we just could not sleep anymore (I was once living nearby).

[JetFox Light Aircraft Made In Malaysia]

Comparing the Jetfox with the Ukrainian-made Foxbat ( http://www.foxbat.com.au/a22l ), I'd probably go for the cheaper Foxbat which is selling very well in many countries.

[New Medan Airport - Kuala Namu International]

Capt Radzi

 

Tnx for the beautiful pic. Just curious, what will be the ICAO and IATA codes for the new airport? KNIA sounds more like a US airport

Should be a nice hop from PEN to there.

[SBW-Sibu,Sarawak]

Nice pic, Michael. Hopefully I can get some good shots of the MasWings ATR in KCH or SBW soon (will be riding in one).

 

Im nt sure. This picture i take from the apron i landed from BKI. So mostly the picture i taken is when I go for trip lols

[Some Shots Taken at Ohare]

Teoh, I was there early this month. What are you flying now?

 

Kee, usually they wait for major overhaul when they strip the paint and put on the new livery.

[Some Shots Taken at Ohare]

Very busy but otherwise ok, TK.

 

You going on to the 738s? Love the wingtips

 

 

How are you Attan..

 

United heaven...

Pieter

 

Didn't realise I had it till you mentioned. Too bad I didn't take a pic before the CRJ came by

 

 

 

Attan,

 

Thanks a lot for sharing; ORD is a great and very busy airport - always planes moving about and you'll always miss some...

 

Wow, you got already an United 737 in CO colours (DL CRJ picture)...

 

That 767 surely needs a new paintjob...

[Endorsement Of 'Lazy Pilot' For Seat No 0A (Zero-A) On 20 Mar 2010]

Belated congratulations to you, TK. Already I can see you enjoying the shorter flights and more landings per day.

 

Han, thanks for the biodata on TK. They are hilarious.

Apologies. Topic already covered by BC Tam under "General Aviation"

[Who Remembers.....]

Don't remember much except that they used the Britannia turboprop aircraft and perhaps had Luton Airport as their base. I may be wrong though.

Good Afternoon, First of all I apologise if this is in the wrong place, but I have looked through the site and there is no where for airline history, if I have missed it sorry, perhaps someone can move it in to the right place.

 

Anyway who remembers BRITISH EAGLE Airways ? They finished in around 1968 I THINK, but they were in the days of BEA and BOAC, which as we know the latter two were formed in to British Airways.I just thought I would ask if anyone remembers the airline, I certainly do and would like to find others that remember them.

 

Peter.

[King Air Pilot Died While Flying]

My apologies if this was posted before but it is interesting reading complete with ATC recording of the incident:

[Penang (WMKP/PEN) 2009]

How come you get all the nice aircraft in PEN, Bob? Love your MLA shots.

[USS Essex - CG09]

Many of us will die to get a chance to get on an operating carrier. Looking forward to more from you, Ow.

[Spotting in Hong Kong]

Really mouth-watering shots, Raj. Let's have more of such from you.

[Spotting at BOM]

Love to view your pics, Vivek. BOM is really an excellent choice for traffic variety and colour. Keep 'em comin'.

[KUL Apron 2009]

Nice bizjet catch, Radzi. More Mid-East birds visible lately.

["Horror Flight on MH161"]

I thought a deportee is a non-Malaysian. Where else can we deport a Malaysian except back to Malaysia? Or have I gone cuckoo? Maybe?

 

Whatever it is the cabin crew and maybe the lsecurity marshall (if there was one on board) were all incompetent in my opinion.

[Invasion at Austrian airport]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Pieter. Such a great variety of liveries. Thought I also saw Julie Andrews singing "The Sound of Music" in the hills in the background!

[KUL 32R in 2009]

Han, really good close up pics. TK looks like Tom Cruise in Top Gun.
